Duo Mood Pin Curl Set May,1953

Thursday, August 29, 2013

Good morning, lovelies! I'm cleaning house and packing bags today to prepare for a wonderful 3 day weekend at my mom's new home in the country.

We're going to fish and play in the river and drink iced tea on the porch and it will be a wonderful time. I'm having a hell of a time packing- what to wear?! I need to mend my 50s swimsuit, adjust the collar on a dress I wanted to bring and pack my Wearing History overalls for sure. Oh, maybe my wearing history jeans will finally make their debut!

Anyway, I thought I'd leave you today with a lovely pin curl set from one of my vintage magazines. I love to try to recreate these, although they usually need the right cut to get the same look but its fun to see what pin curl sets look like on different lengths and get inspired by these old looks. This set is from American Hairdresser Magazine May 1953. I love all of the old ads in these mags, don't you?

Labor Day, already, where did the summer go? Beautiful autumn is just around the corner, can you believe it? Sounds like you guys are going to have a great weekend, be sure to post some pictures. I wish I had the nerve to swim in rivers but have the biggest fear of snakes! Growing up near the ocean spoiled me. Be safe and have a great time my dear!
